All the best for this beautiful build. Why don't you post a picture of the actual aircraft so that we can all see what you are building? :thumbsup:

RC, One issue.
In biplane, the two wings fixing (for 4 nos) are generally not parallel so that it cannot be tilted. Like
   =====╦====================╦=====
            ║            \\      //             ║
            ║             ║▓▓▓║              ║
   =====╩=======╩===╩========╩=====

This angular placement of simply block the shape of rectangle so that it can not shift to trapezium. In your picture, I cannot realize that it has been kept into account or not.

Of course, in some SPADs it has not been used.
Hope you won't mind if I am wrong.

And we are waiting to see the dressed baby of your; Playing in field. :hatsoff: ;D
We have to unite and to prove ourself to make indigenous products as well as marketing / Canvasing them. I'm sure we must achieve success if we try unitedly.

Kalyan, RC has already told us that he has built this model to plan. The wings on the Sopwith Camel are not parallel. The lower wing has a dihedral, while the upper wing is flat. If you study the build pictures carefully, you will see that RC has indeed catered for a lower wing dihedral.

I hope I haven't misunderstood you. ;)

Thanks VC for the explanation on Reply #13.
@ Saikat: The cowl is cut from 2 ltr Pepsi bottle. Here are few pics.

Very nice effort. If you are able to gently apply heat to the cowl and distend the lower potion and apply a curvature to the front, it will be spot on! :thumbsup:
